Question on the Alterniative Super Soldier types In PU2

Unread post by Sir_Nytehawk357 »

If a Character takes on of the Alternative Type supersoldiers, Brain Implant Augmentation, Chemical Enhancement or Endoskeletal Replacement. Do they still get to chose from the Special Supersoldier enhancement Table. Sorry if this has been asked be for, if it has I haven't found it.

I'd say the wording suggests no ("Instead of the above..."), but I'd be tempted to give them the enhancements when comparing the reltive power levels.

you get the powers
Svartalf- if Cherico were a character created in a point game system, he'd have all his scores in geeky skills and his youtube and weird net stuff schticks all paid through a a Terminal Bad Luck (with more nasty GM intervention) disadvantage, and probably an Uncouth (can not have social skills) disad as well...
In an RPG with deadly situations that character would have had to be replaced a dozen times over[

From the FAQ archive:

Question: Do the other supersoldier options recieve Special Supersoldier Enhancements? I can understand why the Chemical, Brain and Endoskeletal characters really wound't need any, but the Latent Psychic supersoldier probably should.

Answer: [by Carmen Bellaire] ALL Supersoldiers get to roll for supersoldier enhancements, even the chemical, brain, endoskeletal, and psychic. This is part of being a SUPER soldier, it is no different than all the charts an Alien gets to roll on. The line that reads: "Instead of the above, the player may select and roll up one of the following three augmented characters." just means that the player can pick one of these types instead of rolling on the Number and Type of Super Abilities chart, the character does not loose anything for picking, instead of rolling on the random chart.
